Following on from my original post, my observations of the Melbourne Sugarbabe market

Ignore the ones who reach out to you directly. They've been sitting at home playing with their crap efforts at Onlyfans content
Melbourne is more about the connection. Girls more interested in ongoing (ppm or allowance)
More high quality options and VFM is greater from my experience
Ratio of Sugar babies to Sugar daddies in Melbourne is higher than Sydney
Girls more interested in a pre meet and working out if they are into you. Goes with the point above on the pre meet
Lots of uni students, consistent with it being the Education capital
Meets take a little longer to organise, usually 1-2 weeks
$500 in Sydney is comparable to $400 in Melbourne and Gold Coast.
I've had more experiences in Melbourne where girls prefer gifts/experiences to cash (gifts, expensive dinners, paying their monthly phone bill, buying them a phone, etc)
Girls are incredibly open minded. BB, anal, creampies, CIMSW, BDSM, fetish role play - it's like a wonderland of discovery and they've all been watching a lot of 50 Shades down there

I have two regulars currently in Melbourne. One on $400 PPM and one on $350 PPM. I see them once a month on average when borders are not locked up. Both can host but we switch up between theirs and my hotel suite.
